I’ve been a member of a photography forum for 6 months now and I really love it and thought I would share. I’ve set out on a quest to learn how to use my Nikon D90 and take better pictures of Avery ever since I received it for Christmas a couple of years ago. I’ve [...]

We are headed off for the weekend on a camping trip in Gruene. Luckily, my brother-in-law’s parents are very kind and are allowing us to use their new RV. I’m really excited about spending time outdoors and I know Avery will love it!

I took my first class tonight and I know I’m going to learn a lot and can’t wait to implement my “learnings” on my muse. She inspires me to be a better everything: Happy Mother’s Day Weekend! I have ‘Muffins with Mom’ in the morning at Avery’s school so that will be fun. Poor Scott [...]

I start my photography class today! I’m super excited. Thank you, Scott, for giving me this gift. I think it is priceless! To me, a moment in time is a treasure that we will never get back.

I’ve been practicing my new photography skills. I still have a long way to go but I’m forcing myself to stay in Manual mode until I feel really comfortable with it.

My dear friend, Phoebe, did a photo shoot of us back in October. We drove out to Sealy to an old mill so we could get some cool contrast and I’m really thrilled with the results. I love the colors! Avery was quite a trooper allowing me to change her several times…. Ha! I couldn’t [...]
